Chapter 1,406 Stealing the City

After receiving the news that the advance was blocked, Qingyi Jieguizhang immediately smelled a hint of danger and said to Xiazheng: "Prince, the situation is not good. Jie Yaomi and Lu Zun are already prepared."

The blind levy was rough and brave: "When will the Henan Qiang become our rival?"

Guizhang said: "Don't underestimate it. According to the news we got from the former army, those troops are clearly from the Song Dynasty."

Blind Zheng shook his head: "The former army has not even seen anyone. Even if there is the weird new army of the Song Dynasty, there are only a few? We have more than 20,000 people, and Lezhi City is low. At this point, is it possible?

Can we still retreat? Don’t forget, Narwin is still in the east of the city!"

Guizhang paced back and forth for a few steps, and finally made up his mind: "Then the whole army will press forward and fight at night! As long as we break into the city, Lezhi will be ours."

Blind Zheng smiled ferociously and said: "That's the truth. Those cowards in the front army, who did not see the enemy's defeat without any reason, spread rumors to destabilize the morale of our army. I will punish ten people for marching! Then the whole army will attach to the city!"

Guizhang also nodded: "But we must hurry up. Li Xianzhong's army is not far from us, and they are all cavalry. If Lezhi City has not been captured by dawn, we must retreat."

Xiang Zheng laughed loudly: "Commander, you think too highly of the cowards of Henan. We should attack Xiaolezhi City in one fell swoop!"

Three hundred defeated soldiers' heads rolled into the rushing Huangshui River. Xinzheng and Qingyi formed ghost seals and pressed towards Lezhi City.

On the way, I met the sentry sent to deliver orders to Lu Lingzhan.

The sentry had a look of horror on his face: "Your Majesty, there has just been a battle under the ancient Shan Fort, and Lu ordered the army to be captured!"

Qingyi Jie Guizhang looked angry: "Aren't we asking him to contain the Lezhi City defenders? He doesn't know how to advance or retreat like this?!"

Blind Zheng didn't take it seriously: "The commander-in-chief is my wise general from the Qingtang Dynasty, but sometimes if I think too much, it will be self-defeating."

Qingyi Jie Guizhang handed over his hand: "The prince has taught you a lesson."

Xiazheng said: "We still have so many people, we just have to overwhelm them."

After saying that, he shouted loudly: "Send my military order. When you enter Lezhi City, you can take gold, silver, yaks and horses as you like without surrendering them!"

The team immediately burst into cheers and their morale was high.

Blind Zheng smiled at Qing Yi and said, "Commander, this is the way to defeat."

Qingyi Jie Guizhang sighed: "The prince is our number one general in the Qingtang Dynasty. In front of the prince, Guizhang is just a pawn."

Xiang Zheng laughed loudly: "Let's go, let's have breakfast in Lezhi City tomorrow!"

It gets dark early in winter, and a great victory in which five thousand enemy troops were wiped out gave the defenders of Lezhi City a sense of confidence.

Li Chunyuan divided the garrison into three squads and distributed crossbows.

The Song Army is now promoting the magic weapon, and even the crane-shank crossbow has become a stockpile. The batch of magic arm bows made by Wang Shao and Li Xian have actually become waste.

However, the Song Army's waste can also be called a magical weapon among the Tibetan people. After all, it is something that can break the wart armor.

In order to reduce the inventory pressure in the two states of Xihe, Li Xian moved all the divine arm bows out this time and had no intention of taking them back again.

In addition to the divine arm bow, there are also thunderbolts, but the Tibetan people are very afraid of these things and are superstitious and dare not use them.

Li Chunyuan had no choice but to let the New Army soldiers be responsible for using them. He also distributed horses to carry ammunition boxes, and also asked each soldier to select two young Tibetan men who were proficient in Chinese to be responsible for controlling the horses and pressing the magazines.

There were more than a thousand civilians in the city. When Huang Hu and others attacked, Li Chunyuan organized the civilians to reinforce the city corners and gates with sandbags. He also pulled up barbed wire and blew up the tower above the city gate. However,

Artillery observation posts were placed on the surrounding hills.

Lezhi City is a supply base with a lot of equipment. Within one day, Li Chunyuan not only consolidated the city defense, but also blocked the main road with barbed wire.

Traffic trenches and trenches were also dug between the east and west barbed wire fences.

Lezhi City was not big, only two miles wide. After the army entered the city, Li Chunyuan opened the warehouse and dragged out the cans to labor the army.

Jie Yaomi took the tin can and looked at it over and over for a long time, but he didn't know how to open it.

Li Chunyuan took out a folding knife from the leather bag of his armed belt, opened it, cut the lid of the can with a screwdriver, and handed it to Jie Yao Mi: "Unity, try it."

Jie Yaomi took it over and found a jar of water inside, with several large pieces of unfamiliar yellow fruit with eyes floating in the water: "What is this?"

Li Chunyuan said: "This is a fruit from the South China Sea, called pineapple."

Jie Yaomi took a sip, with a smile on his thick eyebrows and beard: "Good stuff! Sugar water!"

Li Chunyuan handed over the secret of the knotted medicine: "Tuanlian, you taste it slowly, I have to go on inspection."

After thinking for a moment, he opened the other side of the folding knife and found a small fork: "This is for Unity, use this to eat."

"Hey, okay..." Jie Yaomi was even more happy: "I will explain everything to my sons when I leave. If I don't die in this battle, I will be punished as a slave when I return."

Li Chunyuan frowned slightly, but now was not the time to talk about this. He nodded to Jie Yaomi: "Thank you Tuan Lian, the Song Dynasty will not forget Tuan Lian's contribution."

Jie Yaomi was already busy eating the pineapple. He pointed his fork at the can and muttered that it tasted good. He waved the fork twice, which meant that you should go quickly.

In the big tent, Jia Xu and Peng Sun were studying the city defense plan.

Peng Sun knew nothing about military affairs. He was a Jinshi and was the county magistrate of Wenban when he admired Li Xian.

Because his reputation was so bad, no one in the civil service wanted to pay attention to him anymore, so Peng Sun simply gritted his teeth and transferred to the right class, sticking to Li Xian.

Li Xian was very good at handling official documents and brought him out this time.

Jia Xu was a veteran of the Western Army. Jing Si was lucky enough to escape from the defeated army, but he was also implicated a lot afterwards. He almost never had the opportunity to face the battle, and he was always responsible for the transportation of grain and fodder.

This time, he simply gave up and handed over the affairs completely to dozens of scouts, which made Peng Sun feel even more uneasy.

After Jia Xu stared at the city defense map without saying a word for a long time, Peng Sun asked cautiously: "Old Jia, what's the matter? Is there something wrong with the children's arrangement?"

Jia Xu tapped the city defense map with a wooden pen: "No problem, I was just thinking about what Taiwei and Liu Jiedu meant by this move..."

"Huh?" Peng Sun was a little surprised: "What do you mean?"

Jia Xu stared at the map: "Lao Peng, you don't know that Li Chunyuan came from the Royal Military Academy, and half of the remaining kids came from the Royal Military Academy."

"These are His Majesty's treasures. It's not like Taiwei and Monk Liu don't know about them. How could they be allowed to serve as scouts?"

"What do you mean?"

Jia Xu glanced at Peng Sun: "Di Dianshuai, Wang Taiwei, Zhong Balang, Cao Jiedu, Sun Liuhou, and Jia Gai are all people who came out of the crash course; Qian Xiaohouye, Wang Taishou, Zhong Shujian

, Yao Huchen, Zhe Boyao, and Miao Shoufang are the best among the first batch of students."

"Among the fifty-three kids, Huang Hu is in the third grade of the express program and Gao Le is in the first grade of the college. Li Chunyuan doesn't know, but he can only be higher than them."

"There are more than thirty people left, all from crash courses and colleges! Lao Peng, do you think this is reasonable? This straight bitch is the command team of ten thousand people in the armed forces!!"

Peng Sun relaxed immediately: "Whether it's unreasonable or not, in short, the Taiwei can ignore us, but he doesn't dare to ignore these disciples of the Emperor, right?!"

After speaking, he patted Jia Xu on the shoulder: "Oh, old Jia, you told me earlier, and you have worried me for so long!"

Jia Xu:"……"

It was late at night, and it was dark at the top of Lezhi City.

Narwin led ten thousand people to a mile east of the city.

The commander sent a military order that there will be a night battle tonight, and they must rush into the city regardless of casualties, otherwise there will be great trouble after dawn.

The possibility of retreat is very small. If the infantry retreating in the wild encounters the cavalry, it will almost be destroyed.

Narwin tightened his belt and slapped his general with the back of his sword: "Get closer, it's best to get close to the city."

The general nodded, held up his helmet, and led the front troops to touch it forward.

"Boom!"

A violent explosion sounded far away in the quiet night valley. Narwin only saw a flash of fire and several figures were thrown into the air.

Exposed! Narwin did not dare to hesitate any more, stood up and shouted: "Kill!"

At the top of Lezhi City, several low bang bang bang sounds were heard, and then the people discovered that several bright stars appeared in the sky.

The stars were floating slowly, illuminating the ground east of the city like daylight.

Immediately afterwards, a series of explosions exploded at the gathering place of the army!

Under the white light of the stars, countless Tibetan troops huddled together were blown away. Dense shrapnel and steel balls flew wildly among the crowd, taking away waves of lives.

"Spread out and charge into the city! The only way to survive is to rush in!"

Narwin was also a strong man. Instead of being frightened by such explosions and spectacles, he became murderous.
Chapter completed!
